About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

2 Software Stocks Worth Your Attention and 1 We Ignore

MDB Cover Image

Software is rapidly reducing operating expenses for businesses. This secular theme makes SaaS companies attractive investment candidates but also comes with higher valuations that make re-ratings harder. Unfortunately, the rich prices have held them back over the past six months as the industry’s gain of 10.1% has fallen short of the S&P 500’s 16.2% rise.

A cautious approach is imperative when dabbling in these businesses as the best will deliver robust earnings growth while the rest will be disrupted by competition and AI. With that said, here are two software stocks boasting durable advantages and one that may face trouble.

One Software Stock to Sell:

Box (BOX)

Market Cap: $4.70 billion

Known as the "Content Cloud" for managing the 90% of business data that exists as unstructured files and documents, Box (NYSE: BOX) provides a cloud-based platform that enables organizations to securely manage, share, and collaborate on their content from anywhere on any device.

Why Do We Think Twice About BOX?

  1. Average billings growth of 10% over the last year was subpar, suggesting it struggled to push its software and might have to lower prices to stimulate demand
  2. Estimated sales growth of 7.9% for the next 12 months is soft and implies weaker demand
  3. Operating margin failed to increase over the last year, indicating the company couldn’t optimize its expenses

Box’s stock price of $32.18 implies a valuation ratio of 4x forward price-to-sales. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why BOX doesn’t pass our bar.

Two Software Stocks to Watch:

MongoDB (MDB)

Market Cap: $26.33 billion

Named after "humongous database," reflecting its ability to handle massive data loads, MongoDB (NASDAQ: MDB) provides a flexible document-based database platform that helps developers build, deploy, and maintain modern applications more efficiently.

Why Do We Like MDB?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 34.6% over the past five years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains
  2. ARR growth averaged 25.2% over the last year, showing customers are willing to take multi-year bets on its software

At $323.75 per share, MongoDB trades at 10.3x forward price-to-sales. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Doximity (DOCS)

Market Cap: $13.58 billion

With over 80% of U.S. physicians as members of its digital community, Doximity (NYSE: DOCS) operates a digital platform that enables physicians and other healthcare professionals to collaborate, stay current with medical news, manage their careers, and conduct virtual patient visits.

Why Will DOCS Beat the Market?

  1. Billings have averaged 19.8% growth over the last year, showing it’s securing new contracts that could potentially increase in value over time
  2. Software platform has product-market fit given the rapid recovery of its customer acquisition costs
  3. Strong free cash flow margin of 48.7% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently

Doximity is trading at $72.60 per share, or 22.5x forward price-to-sales. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our in-depth research report, it’s free.
